Are you sure? Yes.
After catching up, the several people began to discuss the war.
"How is the current war situation?"
Gu Hun asked.
"Come and see."
The two Martial Saints led Gu Hun and the other person to the sand table in the center of the command post.
On the sand table, the known troop deployments of both sides had already been divided. At this time, the armies of both sides were amassed in one place, confronting each other, but a full-scale war had not yet begun.
The current focus of the battle was at the location where the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land appeared. Battles throughout the entire Battlefield of the Heavens were frequently occurring there, raging intensely.
Cultivators above the Martial King rank from both sides had not yet made a move, mutually locking onto the Qi of the enemy's high-rank Cultivators, awaiting the development of the war.
The main force currently participating in the struggle for the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land were Martial Kings. Both armies, led by Martial Kings, were engaged in fierce slaughter within the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land, frantically vying for resource points.
Since the appearance of the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land, the current war situation remained in a stalemate. Both sides occupied the majority of resource points and were developing them at an extremely fast pace, but the central location of the Spiritual Land had not yet been developed by anyone.
Both Gu Hun and Jiang Qing had a keen grasp of the war situation and clearly understood the current circumstances.
The resources contained within the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land were extremely abundant, and neither side was willing to give up. Gaining even a little more resource could increase their foundation, so the top powerhouses of both sides tacitly refrained from acting.
Both sides had reaped considerable rewards in the development of the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land, occupying many resource points and developing them at the fastest speed, while slowly advancing deeper into the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land to acquire more precious resources.
Under such circumstances, a full-scale war would only be ignited if one side gained a significant advantage in the development of the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land.
Naturally, a major war would not be ignited when both sides could acquire resources, as they were enjoying the benefits immensely, and no one was willing to give up this easy gain.
However, if one side gained an absolute advantage, the disadvantaged side would naturally not allow the other to continue mining resources and would choose to fight to the death, igniting a major war.
Seeing such a war situation, Gu Hun's eyes flickered. He turned to Jiang Qing and asked, "Jiang Qing, do you have confidence?"
The others present did not understand the meaning of Gu Hun's question, but Jiang Qing knew very well and instantly understood its implication.
Among those present, only Gu Hun knew him inside and out. The others did not know the extent of his current combat power.
Before breaking through to Martial Commander, Jiang Qing could already crush the God of Flesh and Blood. Now that he had broken through to Martial Commander and awakened his Law Domain, his combat power could absolutely contend with a Martial King.
This was merely his normal combat power. If he had the military soul power of his subordinate soldiers to boost him, it would be difficult for him to find an opponent in the Martial King realm.
Such combat power, in a battlefield where only Martial Kings were present, was absolute dominance.
Gu Hun's meaning was clear: he was asking if Jiang Qing had the confidence to seize the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land, and if he had the confidence to seize more resource points at the fastest speed.
In this kind of war situation, only by seizing a large number of resource points at the fastest speed could one gain an advantage. By then, the dust would have settled, and the alien race would not be able to react at all.
As for whether the alien race would ignite a full-scale war? After gaining the advantage, the Human Race was not afraid of a major war with the alien race. At worst, they would just go all out and fight.
"Yes."
Jiang Qing replied.
His current Martial Dao foundation was already above the system of the Battlefield of the Heavens, and he Cultivated the Eight Nine Arcane Art, which transcended the Martial Dao system.
His Cultivation Technique and Martial Arts were both Heaven Rank, his weapon was also a Heaven Rank Natal Martial Weapon, and his subordinate soldiers had abundant morale... With all these blessings, Jiang Qing was confident that he had no equal below Martial Emperor, and he could even contend with a Martial Emperor.
In a war situation where only Martial Kings existed, Jiang Qing's current combat power entering the fray was purely a dimensionality reduction strike.
Moreover, lightning warfare was originally Jiang Qing's mostSpecialties tactic, and this war situation was simply tailor-made for Jiang Qing.
"Good, give me your military token."
Gu Hun nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Qing handed over his military token. Gu Hun took it and gave it to the two Martial Saints, saying,
"Brand his military token with the mark. Let him display his abilities freely in this battle."
The two Martial Saints exchanged glances. They didn't ask much; years of friendship and tacit understanding told them that Gu Hun never did anything without confidence.
Since Gu Hun wanted to give Jiang Qing the right to display his abilities freely, it was clear that this young man might be even stronger than rumored.
One of the Martial Saints took out his commander's token and branded Jiang Qing's military token with a mark.
By entering the battlefield with a branded military token, Jiang Qing's military token would be connected to the military tokens of other Human Race generals, serving to transmit military reports, communicate messages with others, and also as a proof of identity.
Only with this mark could Jiang Qing be confirmed as one of their own. If there was no commander's token mark engraved on the military token, once he rushed into the battlefield, he would become the target of everyone, and both sides would simultaneously attack Jiang Qing.
Rushing into the battlefield without proof of identity was a suicidal act.
This was also why every Martial Dao Prodigy who newly arrived here first reported to the command post. In the battlefield, only with a commander's token mark on their military token could they be confirmed as one of their own.
"Jiang Qing, without further ado, lead your soldiers and join the battle. Remember, be careful in everything and don't force anything; prioritize your own safety."
Gu Hun returned the branded military token to Jiang Qing, gave him some instructions, and then motioned for him to leave.
"Then I shall take my leave, Seniors."
Jiang Qing cupped his hands to everyone present, then strode out of the command post.
Watching Jiang Qing walk away until his back was no longer visible, Gu Hun finally withdrew his gaze and looked at the two Martial Saints. Gu Hun said,
"You two, prepare yourselves. A great war is about to begin."
As his words fell, everyone present looked at each other, all somewhat incredulous.
The current stalemate in the war was precisely because neither side had an absolute advantage. The number of resource points obtained was basically equal, with some slight variations but overall not much difference, and thus the war had remained in a stalemate.
But according to Gu Hun's meaning, Jiang Qing had the ability to turn the tide of the war and seize the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land?
Even with their absolute trust in Gu Hun, they found it somewhat unimaginable. Could a youth who had just broken through to Martial Commander at most, crush all the Martial Kings and seize the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land?
...
Outside the command post.
Jiang Qing looked at his subordinate soldiers. At this moment, there was no need for many words to boost their morale.
From beginning to end, the morale of his subordinate soldiers had always remained at its Peak, and there was no need for any pre-battle mobilization.
"Everyone, the time to achieve great deeds has come."
Jiang Qing raised the long spear in his hand and shouted loudly. Just one sentence completely ignited the morale of his soldiers.
"Depart!" Jiang Qing waved the long spear in his hand and pointed forward.
Roar!
A clear beast roar shook the clouds, and the Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger galloped out at an extremely fast speed towards the place where the Cave Heaven Spiritual Land appeared.
Thump-thump-thump!
The soldiers gripped their saddles tightly, and two thousand warhorses neighed loudly, galloping out in a mighty rush, following behind the Crimson Cloud Demon Tiger, charging forward with an unstoppable momentum.
